One AI method in particular, a technique called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), has become extremely popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GANs are a type of machine learning where two different algorithms compete against each other to create something new. The GAN technique works with a variety of data types and was <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.floydhub.com\/gans-story-so-far\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blog.floydhub.com\/gans-story-so-far\/\">first applied to images in 2014.<\/a> GANs are considered to currently be the state-of-the-art method for generating realistic synthetic images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The availability of cheap compute cycles in the cloud, deep learning algorithms like GAN, and blockchain and NFTs has enabled a surge in the creation of art using AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But is &#8216;AI Art&#8217; an example of machine creativity or human?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.adobe.com\/person\/aaron-hertzmann\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/research.adobe.com\/person\/aaron-hertzmann\/\">Aaron Hertzmann<\/a>, a principal scientist at Adobe Research,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccormick.northwestern.edu\/news\/articles\/2022\/05\/pushing-boundaries-with-generative-artmaking\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mccormick.northwestern.edu\/news\/articles\/2022\/05\/pushing-boundaries-with-generative-artmaking\/\"> said that<\/a> &#8220;AI tools are just like any other technology. The tools benefit art, empower artists, and create new forms of expression.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lenglois-camille-2b342699\/?originalSubdomain=fr\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lenglois-camille-2b342699\/?originalSubdomain=fr\">Camille Lenglois<\/a>, directory of Paris&#8217;s Pompidou Centre, Europe&#8217;s largest collection of contemporary art, <a href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/news\/2022-06-ai-future-art.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/news\/2022-06-ai-future-art.html\">said that<\/a> &#8220;machines do not yet have the &#8216;critical and innovative capacity&#8217;. The ability to generate realistic images does not make one an artist.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But some like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricartefacts.art\/artist\/moises-horta-valenzuela\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.electricartefacts.art\/artist\/moises-horta-valenzuela\">Mois\u00e9s Horta Valenzuela<\/a>, sound artist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccormick.northwestern.edu\/news\/articles\/2022\/05\/pushing-boundaries-with-generative-artmaking\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mccormick.northwestern.edu\/news\/articles\/2022\/05\/pushing-boundaries-with-generative-artmaking\/\">argue that the art is in the creation of the tool<\/a>.  \u201cThe generative or system-making is the artwork, rather than the outputs. The output is just a reflection of the system that I created and also of the data and representations that I give to the system.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
